He was born in Riyadh Saudi Arabia, grew up in Greece and Brazil, went to high school in London, and college at Harvard. His mom is American (from Kansas) and his dad is Dutch. He never identified with any one culture and spent much of his life trying to make sense of the world around him.
info_outlineMarty Bowen is the co-founder of Temple Hill Entertainment and the producer of Twilight, which grossed over $3 billion dollars worldwide. His movies include the Mazerunner Series, The Fault in Our Stars, and The First Man.
Marty went to Harvard but saw himself as an outsider. He began his Hollywood career as a trainee at United Talent Agency, working his way up to becoming an agent. In 2006, he identified a hole in the market and after a fateful lunch meeting started Temple Hill Entertainment. As an agent and later a producer, he learned to navigate hundreds if not thousands of personalities to create each movie.
In this week’s episode, I talk with Marty about what got him into the movie business and the moment he knew Twilight would be a success. He shares his uncommon superpower, “anxiety” and how he uses it to make better decisions. We talk about how he has come to expect failure and sees his job as a job of failure. Marty is a lot of fun, charming and a pleasure to be around.
